Priest peddled child porn to ‘punish God’ for poker losses

‘A Pennsylvania priest, convicted of downloading child pornograhpy, said he commited the crime to get revenge on God – who he felt was attacking him when he lost poker games.
Kevin Gugliotta, 55, from Mahwah, New Jersey, and a former priest in Honesdale, PA, was sentenced to 11 to 23 months in jail on Thursday, with credit for 10 months of time served while awaiting trial.
According to pre-trial records, Gugliotta told probation officers that he was an avid poker player, and he felt God was attacking him when he lost games. To get revenge on God, Gugliotta said, he downloaded child pornography.
“That was his reason. He’s not happy that’s how he felt, as the judge indicated. There are other ways to handle issues and handle anger,” said Gugliotta’s attorney, Jim Swetz, to WNEP.’
